Leicester City Football Club will once again be holding a service of 'Remembrance and Thanksgiving' at the Walkers Stadium on Sunday, May 11.

This event gives bereaved supporters and the families of ex-staff and players the opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of their deceased loved ones.

The service will take place in the club's Garden of Remembrance and will be led by Club Chaplain, Bruce Nadin (If the weather is inclement this will take place in the West Stand).

The theme of this service will be 'When you're Smiling' - a reference to the song often chanted by Foxes fans on the terraces - and for obvious reasons will contain a strong football emphasis.

Singing will be provided by the soulful voice of singer-songwriter Kristyna Myles who sang at last year's service.

At the end of the service light refreshments will be provided.

Bruce said: "Last year's event attracted nearly 250 people despite the atrocious weather conditions.

"The feedback from those who attended was overwhelmingly positive.

"Many commented that the service helped them enormously, and hoped that the club would repeat the experience."

The Birch, who holds the Garden of Remembrance close to his heart, added: "This great football club plays a huge part in people's lives.

"The Garden of Remembrance has provided a means for supporters to express their sense of loss and grief through the club."

Supporters who hope to attend, or would like the name of a loved one read out during the service, are advised to contact the club by email: customer.relations@lcfc.co.uk or write to Peter Jones or Pat Griffin at the stadium.

The Service will commence at 2.30pm and should finish no later than 3.15pm.
